Hey my name is Josh. I make interactive experiences. This is a game I made called Misgnomer. It uses a physical diorama as the game level. I have been experimenting with different variations on this idea so I'll be posting more stuff like this.

Is #fafatl still a thing? If you find it it's yours

I was really good at using T9. What a waste

This level is supposed to take place on a rocky lava planet. It's kind of hard to see from far away but there is a baby on the loose in this one.

Here is more progress on one of my diorama game levels. I just repainted the frame. The level is based on a gas giant planet with floating campers.

I have been away and busy with work but I am slowly making progress on this flying campsite level for my game. I added these propellers most recently.

I have started printing parts for another diorama level in my game. This one is a cloud city with floating RV things. #weirdgamedev #weirdgames #indiegamedev

This is where I work on my games. I had to hang them all on the wall to have enough space. There are two more screens on the opposite wall with the other levels and the little black frame in the left corner is a screen with a mini level. #indiegamedev #art #wip #atlantaartist #gameart #weirdgames

Here is what the lava level looks like all put together. I like the lights I added but I think I will need to add a few more to get the contrast I want.

I added some lights to the level in my new game. Since the level is a physical sculpture I need to add lights anywhere the player's character will be in front of so that there is enough contrast with what's on the LCD screen. #indiegamedev #wierdgames #dioramagame

I have been working on another level for my diorama game. This one is a lava planet with a pink rocky surface. I'm making it like an industrial zone. There are led lights inside. I'll post more once I add it to the screen.

This key will allow users to open a physical box. I'll post a video soon that shows the full experience. There will be items locked inside the box. if you find the key you can walk over to the box and tap your phone and open it.

I have been working on a new level for my next game. This is my progress from the weekend. It's an icy underwater level.

Here is another view of my first interactive diorama. It's called How to be a cat. You just go around fucking shit up just like a real cat would.

This is from my first interactive diorama project. You can control a cat that goes around a city and messes stuff up.
